At a first glance it may look funny and I may concern with you but at a second glance not since a not so small amount of helpers here on the list are tied to vulneerable Softwae during a couple of hours a day when they are at work. Not everyone enjoys a Mac at work and only because he or she has no Mac at work he or she should not help other users here on the list if he or she could? I mean sometimes even I can help Windows users when it is windows only specific problem with OpenOffice.org and I use Windows only once or twice a month since I have my own flat. And who is allowed to install Mozilla and Mozilla Mail on his computer at work or have it? Not that many. Second when you read the CERT and other Warnings from Anti-Virus Companies etc you find that this worms spreads via P2P Networks too and guess what there are Macusers who run this kind of software. Their commputers may not be infected but they help distributing the virus too. Third you won't know on how much spam adress-lists you are standing and if only one of this spammers gets the virus on his machine...
